Safari Adventure

Ride EM cowboys!!! The boys had a blast at the Green Barn Halloween Festivities. They had tons of neat things for kids to do... The boys were a little hesitant about getting on this straw zebra....

Straw Maze

Here are the kids with their net collecting all the critters in the maze. When they collected all 8 of them- they were given a small bag of candy... They thought that was very neat!!

Halloween Festivities

We had a fun- filled day at Green Barn garden/nursery today. They had a whole area set up with a staw maze and a huge corn pit for kids to play in. The maze was So neat. The boys were each given a net to collect 8 small(pretend) critters that were in various corners in the maze, and each corner had a different theme. It was so fun watching the boys excitment when they found a critter. The boys were so proud each time they collected a different critter and had a blast walking all around in the maze. The boys were not all that crazy about the corn pit, being that they sunk down into the corn. They told Daddy to go get the trucks and bring them back to the edge..... so Daddy crawled in and got the trucks!!! It was also very nice because we had the whole place to ourselves. Just minutes before I guess a whole bus load of ECFE kids were there.. so we just missed the huge crowd.

Duluth Trip

We had a Kid Free trip to Duluth this past weekend, which was awesome!!!!! Pauls work sent him there for a convention, which was filled with meetings... But mommy had a VERY relaxing time going between the hot tub, sauna, swimming pool, and exercise room. Not to mention the 45 minute baths I took each morning with candle light!!! What a treat!!!!!!!! This was the best vacation ever... I ventured out to do some shopping down Superior street and of course found a great coffee shop.. Paul and I were able to meet for lunch the first day and that was very nice... The morning of the second day we went out to breakfast on the 15th floor of the radission hotel, where the view was magnificent. The whole upper level was rotating around to give a great view of the water and boats. I spent more than an hour up there just sitting with a pot of coffee.. It was wonderful!!!! Then on the second day we went to the Ervin haunted ship, which was horrible.. I knew it would be scary.. but had no idea it would be this scary!!! I screamed through the whole thing and was SO glad to get out of there!!!! Then we stopped to get a few drinks at the bar and went back to our hotel for an evening swim... The next night the convention put on a dance, which was alot of fun.. We were out past midnight- which isn't somthing you get to do in our every day life... so this was also a GREAT treat!!!! My mom came up to watch the kids- so I knew they were in great care. I did call home alot to check on them- but thats to be expected being I am hardly ever away from them. It was a much needed trip and the boys had a blast with Grandma!!!

PUMPKINS

We grew our own pumpkins this year and had a wonderful crop. The kids and I had alot of fun this fall going out and looking through the pumpkin patch. Neither of the kids had much interest in carving their pumpkin this year... but they did have fun watching daddy carve a neat face in the pumpkin and then watching the pumpkin glow in the dark. They thought that was very neat!!! and Trevor even gave the pumpkin a kiss!!

Boys Golfing

The boys had a blast golfing with daddy!! They both cheered when daddy hit the ball and tried to point to where they thought it landed... Mommy had fun driving the golf cart....
